Best little secret Gym/Gem for locals. Great for military vets, 1st responders and anyone who wants a great pump while surrounded by folk who only want the same.

Awesome spot. It was easy to get a day pass, facility had lots of room and excellent selection of equipment. Will be back whenever I visit my FL friends again and am happy to know I won’t have to miss training while on a trip!

I came down to visit my grandmother for a week and had no idea where to look for a gym. I called these guys up at 9am on a Saturday (sorry) and they answered and gave me directions to get a day pass. It seriously was so easy to get a pass, enter the facility, and start training even though the owners weren’t in on a Saturday. I take my training seriously and saw this was within a reasonable distance from where she lives so I had to check it out. Let me say, coming from the northeast and having an abundance of great gyms I was scared that I’d end up having to go to a planet fitness while in the area but I’m so happy this gym exists. It has top notch equipment to get strong and thicc. If I could give 10 stars I would. Thanks for actually running a real gym πŸ‘

If you want a gym…proper gym with weights, tunes and people working out and not staring at themselves, this is your spot. The owners are incredibly kind as well. Highly recommended.

Simply put it, this gym is amazing! This is one of two places nearby that I can actually practice the Olympic lifts and train my accessories! They have such good equipment that most gyms dont even have (Ex. Kilo plates, power bars, belt squat, etc..). The owner and the regulars that attend this gym are very friendly as well!!!!! Highly recommend coming here!

This gym is great! I've been on my solo fitness journey (i.e. watching TikTok to learn exercises) and after 4 months I was ready to level up. I heard about the women's strength training class and immediately signed up.

Ryan is a great coach! He's teaching me so much and pushing me to continue progressing. He's very knowledgeable and explains things well. It's so nice to learn new things and how to perform the moves properly.

The gym itself is set up to cater to strength training. There's a variety of equipment, it's clean, and isn't over crowded.

I recommend to anyone interested in fitness ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’m so happy to have been recommended to Rhino’s! It’s a veteran owned gym and open 24/7. I took advantage of small group training 3x a week. I wasn’t comfortable with strength training but knew I needed it. Ryan is an excellent trainer - his expertise combined with his patience is what keeps me motivated. I highly recommend this gym!

Edited to reflect 2024 location being just as awesome as 2022 location!

As a local business owner and board member to multiple non-profit organizations, it's always an honor to have the rare opportunity to confidently put my reputation behind another small bussiness. Despite having an extensive home gym with several machines and 1000s of pounds of weights, I recently decided to supplement my workouts utilizing Rhino's Gym and could not be happier with my decision.

The gym is very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The equpiment is very high end with unique and challening options that will not be found at the majority of other gyms. The other members are polite, friendly, and a great mixture of all ages and skill levels. During normal bussiness hours there are typically only a few other members allowing you to have accessibility to everything you want to use. Even better, with 24/7 access, I have had the entire building to myself for 2 hours uninterupted. In the past I have had 5 different gym memberships and must say I not only find the pricing fair at Rhino's Gym but would even gladly pay more for what is offered.

In addition to membership, I choose to hire the gym's owner for private strength training. Having had dozens of coaches throughout my life, competeting in multiple sports, and even training with pro/olympic athletes I feel well qualified to rate my 1 on 1 sessions and so far have been beyond impressed. The owner is professional, well spoken, and very knowledgeable. He has been incredibly helpful and has been happy to provide insight on multiple topics, even going as far as giving advice on recent purchases for my own gym.

The owner's wife also offers pre/post natal and mental skills training. While I can not comment on her skillset on these topics, I can say she is equally friendly and helpful during interactions with members and a pleasure to be around.

If you are considering a gym membership or training I would highly recommend Rhino's, you won't be disappointed.

Awesome place for single day passes when visiting. They had all the equipment I needed and everything was organized and clean. The day pass purchase process was easy and getting into the gym after hours was drama free. Will be back when visiting next year! Thank you!

Awesome! I'm visiting from Colorado and was worried about skipping a workout since I'm in competition prep for a USAPL meet. I'm so glad I found this place! I was able to purchase a day pass from their website for super cheep, and I was given a code to get me in the gym. Everything I needed was there. Even chalk! I would have preferred it to be colder inside, (I'm not acclimated to this Florida heat.) but there were fans I moved around with me. Thanks!

Got a 10day pass. Sadly not a gym for a bodybuilder. If you are a power lifter this is definitely the place for you. Went one time and tried to get a refund but they wouldn’t refund me. Pretty upsetting.

Combination of power lifting, functional fitness and cross fit. Great selection of equipment. If you are looking for cookie cutter gym, with big box atmosphere, lot's of TV's and spandex - this is NOT your workout spot. If you are looking to push yourself so you can accomplish new fitness goals with sweat, determination and the willingness to see how mentally tough you are - this is your gym. 24 hour access, multiple types of memberships and great customer service.

Great gym, great people, great vibe. I've been training with Ryan for about a month, and I couldn't ask for a better coach. He's encouraging and knowledgeable--and he pushes you to your full potential. No matter where you are on your fitness journey, you will feel welcome here.

If you are looking for a coach that will help build not only your body, but your mind as well, Ryan is the perfect coach for you. If you are rehabing an injury, Ryan formulates workouts to assist in recovery. He is awesome at modifying exercises to fit his clients capabilities. I trained with Ryan for six months after a traumatic experience... his wisdom, kindness, and hard work gave me the respite and recovery that I really needed. Much appreciation to Ryan at Rhino's Strength and Performance.

The owners of Rhino Strength and Performance are incredible. I had them work with me after a bilateral knee injury. It took time and effort on my part, but they were able to help and continue to help me strengthen my body and mind to a level I didn't think was possible without corrective surgery. I still have limitations, but the team at Rhino have guided me to work with my limitations so that I can not only be strong, but also compete in strength sports. Furthermore, they have definitely put in more interest in helping myself and others than just during sessions and programming. They genuinely care about people and it shows.

While I am not able to speak to this location's equipment and location, I am able to speak about Ryan and Tarra. I have been a member of their other location in North Carolina four almost four years and cannot speak highly enough regarding the wealth of knowledge between the two of them.
Ryan has a deep understanding of many different training styles that can assist any individual. It does not matter if your goal is just to get into better shape and increase your overall health, to compete in powerlifting, or to pass one of the various military selection programs. He will be able to help you get where you need to be if you put in the work.
But physical training is only half of the package. The mental skills coaching offered by Tarra is priceless and you can take the techniques she shares with you and apply them to any other areas of your life. Perhaps you are afraid to start training seriously again due an old injury. She can help you overcome that anxiety. Do you get nervous the days leading up to a competition and cannot perform at your best on meet day? She can help. Do not under estimate how having valuable this skill set is when it comes to the gym.
Many gyms I have been to have all of the bells and whistles, but few locations I have been to have what Ryan and Tarra are able to provide.

Extremely knowledgeable staff. Ryan knows how to get the most out of every training session and Tarra brings that and all the mental skills you could need. It's a bigger game-changer then I initially thought. Coming back from an injury? Hit a plateau in training? Having trouble setting and attaining goals? All mental skills she can help with.

Not your everyday commercial gym. You won't find any cardio bunnies here. If you take your lifting goals seriously I highly recommend. They offer all types of coaching, tons of specialty equipment, and NO CONTRACTS!!!!

The owners are great people and promote an accepting environment for new and seasoned lifters alike.

I'm mostly familiar with the original Rhino's Gym, in Fayetteville NC. I've known Ryan and Tarra since before they made the dive into the fitness industry. I can tell you frim my experiences with them, over the years, that they are both driven, goal oriented individuals that are dedicated to helping their athletes and clients achieve their maximum potential.

They are amazing! I came to them with concerns about lifting, that I was nervous and didn’t think it was something I could do.

They were welcoming from the first conversation, always open to my questions and have been AMAZINGLY supportive in my powerlifting journey.

With their help I have surpassed so many goals and hurdles I thought I would never be able to. I have only been with them for a few months but I see this relationship lasting a long time.

Not only is it training but when I am having emotional off days that effect my lifting they are there to reassure and support.

Thank you for helping me with my first 2 competitions (which I took 5th and 1st in) and pushing me out of my comfort zone.

Excited for my next 2 competitions in 2021!
